PROGRAMS OF SUPPORT FROM THE IEEE HISTORY CENTER: 2004/2005
The IEEE History Center offers three different programs of support annually for young scholars pursuing the history of electrical engineering and computing: An Internship for an advanced undergraduate, graduate student, or recent Ph.D.; a Dissertation Fellowship for an advanced graduate student or recent Ph.D.; and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship for a recent Ph.D. The Internship and the Dissertation Fellowship are funded by the IEEE Life Members Committee; the Post-Doc is funded by Rutgers University. The Internship and the Post-Doc require residence at the IEEE History Center, on the Rutgers University Campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey; there is no residency requirement for the Dissertation Fellowship. The Post-Doctoral Fellowship is currently filled, but the IEEE History Center is pleased to announce the competitions for the other two 2004 awards:
IEEE Fellowship In Electrical HistoryAcademic Year 2004/2005 The IEEE Fellowship in Electrical History supports either one year of full-time graduate work in thehistory of electrical science and technology at a college or university of recognized standing, or up to one year of post-doctoral research for a scholar in this field who has received his Ph.D. within the past three years. This award is supported by the IEEE Life Members Committee. The stipend is $17,000, with a research budget of $3,000 also supplied. Candidates with undergraduate degrees in engineering, the sciences, or the humanities are eligible for the Fellowship. For pre-doctoral applicants, however, the award is conditional upon acceptance of the candidate into an appropriate graduate program in history at a school of recognized standing. In addition, pre-doctoral recipients may not hold or subsequently receive other fellowships, but they may earn up to $5,000 for work that is directly related to their graduate studies. Pre-doctoral Fellows must pursue full-time graduate work and evidence of satisfactory academic performance is required. These restrictions do not apply to post-doctoral applicants. The Fellow is selected on the basis of the candidate's potential for pursuing research in and contributing to electrical history. Application forms are available on-line or by request from the IEEE History Center (see contact information below). The deadline for completed applications is 1 February. This completed application packet should be sent to the Chairman, IEEE Fellowship in Electrical History Committee, IEEE History Center, RutgersThe State University of New Jersey, 39 Union Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8538. Applicants will be notified of the results by 1 May 2003. The IEEE Fellowship in Electrical Engineering History is administered by the IEEE History Committee and supported by the IEEE Life Members Committee.
IEEE History Center Internship2004
Scholars at the beginning of their career studying the history of electrical technology and computing are invited to contact the Center to be considered for a paid Internship at the Center's offices on the Rutgers University campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The Intern program seeks to provide research experience for graduate students in the history of electrical and computer technologies, while enlisting the help of promising young scholars for the Center's projects. The Intern generally works full-time for two months at the History Center on a Center project that is connected to his or her own area of interest. This time is usually during the summer, but other arrangements will be considered. Interns are also encouraged to consult with the Center's staff and its associates, and guided to research resources in the area. The Internship is designed for those near the beginning or middle of their graduate careers, but advanced undergraduates, advanced graduates, and, on rare occasions, recent Ph.D.s will also be considered. Special consideration is often given to scholars from outside the United States who might not otherwise have an opportunity to visit historical resources in this country. The stipend paid to the intern is US$3,500. Additional funds may be available to defray travel costs, depending on the Intern’s circumstances. This Internship is supported by the IEEE Life Members Committee. There is no formal application form. To apply, please mail a curriculum vitae showing your studies in electrical history along with a cover letter describing the sort of project you would be interested in doing (see contact information below). The deadline for contacting the IEEE History Center is 15 March 2004.
IEEE is an AA/EO employers. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply for all positions. The IEEE History Center is cosponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE)the world’s largest professional technical society, and Rutgersthe State University of New Jersey. The mission of the Center is to preserve, research, and promote the legacy of electrical engineering and computing.
